The Emerging Chondrocyte Channelome
Chondrocytes are the resident cells of articular cartilage and are responsible for synthesizing a range of collagenous and non-collagenous extracellular matrix macromolecules. Whilst chondrocytes exist at low densities in the tissue (1-10% of the total tissue volume in mature cartilage) they are extremely active cells and are capable of responding to a range of mechanical and biochemical stimul...
متن کاملNeuroeducation, Is the New Field Emerging?
Introduction: Thanks to advanced imaging devices, the rapid growth of neurosciences and identification of various functions in different parts of the brain has lead to new perspectives open in a variety of sciences. This paper outlines the prospects for integrating findings of neuroscience and education. Methods: This paper is the outcome of a non-systematic review through searching scientific...
متن کاملChopping off the chondrocyte proteome
The progressive nature of osteoarthritis is manifested by the dynamic increase of degenerated articular cartilage, which is one of the major characteristics of this debilitating disease. As articular chondrocytes become exposed to inflammatory stress they enter a pro-catabolic state, which leads to the secretion and activation of a plethora of proteases. In aim to detect the disease before mass...
متن کاملTranscriptomic Analysis of the Ion Channelome of Human Platelets and Megakaryocytic Cell Lines
Ion channels have crucial roles in all cell types and represent important therapeutic targets. Approximately 20 ion channels have been reported in human platelets; however, no systematic study has been undertaken to define the platelet channelome. These membrane proteins need only be expressed at low copy number to influence function and may not be detected using proteomic or transcriptomic mic...
متن کاملEmerging Players at the Intersection of Chondrocyte Loss of Maturational Arrest, Oxidative Stress, Senescence and Low-Grade Inflammation in Osteoarthritis
The prevalence of Osteoarthritis (OA) is increasing because of the progressive aging and unhealthy lifestyle. These risk factors trigger OA by removing constraints that keep the tightly regulated low turnover of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of articular cartilage, the correct chondrocyte phenotype, and the functionality of major homeostatic mechanisms, such as mitophagy, that allows for the c...
